Being hounded by agents

[LondonManc]

All agents have mobile phones.

If your CV is good enough and you block private numbers they will call you from their mobile.

Especially if they have a contract that you'd genuinely consider looking at rather than laughing at.

They called a lot this week, 3 times on Thursday.


I had around ~10 voicemails from Indian recruiters from different companies Avance, Skillrecruit regarding a role in Northampton. I think 5 different people from Skillrecruit called me regarding that role, even though I have big font size 20 letters that I'm only looking for contracts in Central London. It does seem that some of these companies are outbound call centers trying to make as many calls and e-mails a day, all about quantity and no attention for quantity. It is somewhat a pain while finding a new contract, but it's part of the game.

Oh yes. Lots of agencies ignore the contract thing and just assume you're dying to do a perm role.

Part of the game though. Leave for voicemail. Log in at end of day and delete.
